16. Magic Eye
Zhou Sheng had four beds in his dormitory, two of which were piled with miscellaneous items, and his roommates went out to rent a house. The other bed was Fu Liqun's, and he didn't come back last night, looking like he didn't come back.
Yu Hao: "There are only two people in your dormitory?"
Zhou Sheng took off his shirt as soon as he entered the door, his muscles were lean, his abs were neat, and he walked around in front of Yu Hao with bare shirt. For homosexuals, it was a temptation of the genius level. Although Yu Hao kept telling himself not to like straight men anymore, otherwise he would still die miserably. However, the most beautiful man's figure was so beautiful that he couldn't stand it, so he had to work hard not to look at Zhou Sheng.
"Fu Liqun has gone all night." Zhou Sheng pulled open the closet and tossed and turned around and smelled the wrinkled base T-shirt inside, identifying which one could wear.
Yu Hao took the clean clothes and socks for him. Zhou Sheng threw a kiss at him and said, "It's so good, I love you." Then he turned around and entered the bathroom.
Yu Hao: "..."
Zhou Sheng's desk was piled with several messy models, EVA, One Piece's full set, and a swimsuit girl who pressed instant noodles. She also threw a few scratched point cards and a brand new English CET-4 real-life test. She only did the first three questions as expected.
The sneakers under the desk are arranged neatly.
Next to the alarm clock, Yu Hao accidentally caught a golden handicraft with a large dial - a circle with hollow sun patterns, and four carved hollow bird-shaped patterns around him, like a simple and gorgeous golden ring.
Yu Hao always felt as if he had seen it somewhere, and asked in the bathroom: "What is this?"
Zhou Sheng was singing while taking a shower. He stopped hearing this and said, "What? Take it over and take a look?"
Yu Hao didn't ask any more. Zhou Sheng took a shower and came out wearing only a pair of boxer underwear. Yu Hao almost bleeded and hurriedly said, "Put on the clothes, be careful to catch a cold again."
Zhou Sheng looked at his phone indifferently. After sending the message, Huang Ting replied several times. Yu Hao picked up the crafts and decorations. Zhou Sheng put on his clothes, took them casually, and put them in his pocket, saying, "Lucky things, use them for psychological comfort during the competition, so that... wear more, and the battle begins! Let's go!"
Zhou Sheng patted Yu Hao on the shoulder, and Yu Hao felt much more at ease. All his previous concerns disappeared in an instant, as if with Zhou Sheng, a powerful friend, he had nothing to be afraid of.
After a night of snow, Ying City became even colder, but the flower shop was very warm, as if it was in spring. Yu Hao wore too much today and was a little hot. He and Shi Ni each held a cup of hot chocolate in their hands, while Zhou Sheng was drinking black coffee. The three of them remained silent.
"For you." Shi Ni was so nervous that his hands were trembling when he took out the Christmas gift.
Yu Hao took the gift and it was a box of exquisite chocolates with only four pieces inside. It looked very expensive. He asked casually: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah." Shi Ni was obviously a little worried. She was wrapped in a down jacket and her long hair was draped in her ears. She was already a little adult. She looked up at him and asked, "What do I need to do?"
Yu Hao said sincerely: "It's up to you to decide."
Zhou Sheng leaned on the chair and looked at Shi Ni, without saying a word from beginning to end. His eyes were filled with sympathy, sadness and anger, but he tactfully handed it over to Yu Hao to deal with it.
Shi Ni was silent again. Yu Hao knew that she was very uneasy now and might still regret her decision. After all, Xiaoxiao was also with her before. Now all the help has disappeared in an instant. She needs to re-establish and trust with Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng.
Yu Hao is a person who has experienced it. There was a time in his life that made him no one willing to believe it. But now he is gradually beginning to understand that the most sincere and sincere relationship between people is the relationship of trust. The blurt out of the words "I believe in you" is the premise for the establishment of all emotional bonds, and it is also the beginning of a person's journey from darkness to sunshine.
The initial belief in childhood was established from the family, but Mr. Shi's behavior collapsed and shattered her trust, making her afraid to trust anyone anymore. But now she is trying to believe them, or in other words, her deepest expectations for people have not been completely shattered. When she said the words "I believe in you" with Xiaoxiao's encouragement, Yu Hao recalled herself and slowly understood what the most important thing was to untie Shi Ni's heart.
【Do you have time today?】
Yu Hao accidentally glanced at his phone and received a WeChat message from Chen Yekai.
Yu Hao had to reply a few words briefly and tell him that he was outside.
"What's Xiaoxiao's surname?" Yu Hao locked the screen of his phone, suddenly changed the topic, and asked a question that was unrelated.
"The surname is Lu." Shi Ni said, "What's wrong?"
Yu Hao nodded, which confirmed his guess. He was looking for the connection between dreams and reality, as if he was breaking into a maze.
"Has she left?" Yu Hao asked again.
"I left in the morning." Shi Ni took out his cell phone and glanced at it, saying, "I've already boarded the plane."
Yu Hao asked: "Did you leave any souvenirs?"
Shi Ni stretched out his left hand, tied a braided bracelet to his wrist, and said, "One of us is one."
Yu Hao thought maybe he could enter his dream again, what role could this bracelet play, just like his own clothes fork. But after thinking about it, Yu Hao always felt uneasy. He was trying hard to analyze Shi Ni's dream all day long. The only factor that made him feel unstable was the magic eyes on the lighthouse.
As stated in "Lord of the Rings", the magic eye means omniscient tracking, which means that Shi Ni's every move is under the surveillance of Mr. Shi. Although this is just Shi Ni's cognition, there must be a reason why this cognition has been formed over a long period of time.
Yu Hao dared not raise it directly, otherwise it would definitely stimulate Shi Ni's deeper fear and make the demonic eyes in the dream stronger.
"When will your dad come back?"
"The day after tomorrow." Shi Ni said sadly.
Yu Hao pondered for a long time, and Zhou Sheng suddenly reached out from under the table and touched him gently. Yu Hao raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Sheng, knowing what he meant - long pain is worse than short pain, and he has to say what he should say.
Yu Hao suddenly changed his mind and asked Shi Ni: "What is your father most afraid of?"
"Ah?" Shi Ni looked surprised.
She was always waiting for Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng to take her to the police station, as if she was going to be taken to get an injection. The future made her very scared, as if she was waiting for a verdict.
Yu Hao didn't mention this for a long time, and Shi Ni's nerves began to relax without realizing it.
"Think about it, treat him as a big boss." Yu Hao frowned, "What are the weaknesses that can make him afraid of you."
Yu Hao was thinking about the magic eye floating on the lighthouse in his dream. After entering again tonight, he faced a decisive battle with the magic eye. The last time he contacted him, he used a clothes fork to kill the dark self. Although they were the main force this time, Shi Ni's help might play a big role.
"Weakness?" Shi Ni never seemed to have thought about this problem.
Zhou Sheng finally spoke: "For example, who is the person he is most afraid of, what is the thing he is most afraid of? Is he afraid of cockroaches? Or is there something that is afraid of being discovered? Have you ever bribed? How much is hidden under the bed?"
Shi Ni: "???"
Yu Hao said: "It is impossible for her to know these things!"
Shi Ni said: "He is afraid of fire."
"Oh——" Yu Hao said, "Why? Have you ever seen him afraid of fire?"
Shi Ni began to recall that Yu Hao felt that there was a chance, but he might not be useful. After all, the demonic eyes symbolize Mr. Shi in Shi Ni's impression. If he could enter the real Mr. Shi's dream, it might be another matter.
Shi Ni once lit an scented candle at home, which attracted Mr. Shi's mad dog-like scolding. Yu Hao felt it was a good idea after hearing this, so he asked Shi Ni to think about it again. Shi Ni's fear seemed to be completely overcome, and words gradually began to increase. After Yu Hao thought deeply, he felt that Shi Ni's biggest obstacle was the fear of her father's powerless resistance. As long as he overcomes this fear, everything would be pushed naturally.
He patiently guided Shi Ni, including making her imagine the scene where Mr. Shi was brought to justice, imagined when she pointed at Mr. Shi with a torch, Mr. Shi was panicked when he saw the fire, and imagined that she began to live in a brand new place.
"How do you hope to live your future life?" Zhou Sheng held a cigarette in his hand, turning around and turning like a pen.
"I never want to see him again." Shi Ni said, "I don't want to see my mother either."
"Do your uncle and aunt be willing to take care of you?" Yu Hao asked, "You are thirteen years old this year and need a new guardian..."
"Fourth is coming." Shi Ni said, "my birthday in January."
"I will be a grown-up in two years." Yu Hao said.
"It's too early to say this now," said Zhou Sheng.
Yu Hao replied: "It's not too early, I can take care of my grandma in my first year of high school. I'm a good student. If you are good at studying, you can go abroad after graduating from junior high school, and you will get better."
Shi Ni nodded. Yu Hao had tutored her, and she knew her grades very well. She studied all subjects well, and her English still has room for improvement. Tutoring her in English was also to let her go abroad to high school after she graduated from the third year of junior high school.
Zhou Sheng sat upright, leaned over slightly, and said to Shi Ni seriously: "Then, let's plan for it."
Yu Hao wanted to get to the point, so he left it to Zhou Sheng to deal with it. He has always been very radical, but this radical made him feel very reliable.
"I'll inform my police friend?" Zhou Sheng said.
Shi Ni nodded, became a little nervous again, and Yu Hao said: "We will stay by your side until the end of this matter."
Zhou Sheng called Huang Ting. Huang Ting had been waiting in this mall for a long time and arrived in five minutes. Yu Hao was a little worried that a policeman would inevitably attract attention when he appeared in the cafe to talk about things, but the facts dispelled his concerns - Huang Ting was wearing a casual outfit.
Shi Ni had seen him several times, and the police officer also made her feel reliable. He seemed to be able to see through her heart. Huang Ting sat down and said, "What? The little girl has figured it out?"
Shi Ni finally said everything. Yu Hao originally thought she would cry and the tissue was ready. Unexpectedly, Shi Ni was extremely strong. After hearing the beginning, Huang Ting took out the recorder and looked at Shi Ni with inquiring eyes. Shi Ni nodded. There were fewer people in the coffee in the flower room, and the environment became quieter. Shi Ni told the general story. Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng couldn't bear to listen any more several times.
Until the end, when Shi Ni's story ended, Huang Ting said: "You decide for yourself when to take you to the hospital for an appraisal."
Shi Ni said: "Just now."
Nothing that Yu Hao was worried about happened. Huang Ting immediately contacted a nearby hospital and drove Shi Ni to the hospital for a check-up. He went in with a familiarity. Before he knew it, it was dusk. A gentle female doctor whispered a few words to Shi Ni and took her in for a check-up. Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng were waiting outside.
The inspection time was very long, and Yu Hao asked in a low voice: "What should I do tonight?"
"Listen to Huang Ting," Zhou Sheng said, "Let him arrange it." Then he yawned and said, "As soon as winter comes, I just want to sleep."
Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao were both tired today, and the string in their spirit was always tense. Especially when talking to Shi Ni, they were always focused on observing her emotions and spoke very carefully, just like fighting a battle.
Zhou Sheng said, "Please pay attention to it, I'll sleep for a while." As he said that, he lay horizontally on the bench, pillowing Yu Hao's thighs, Yu Hao covered his coat on his body and looked inside.
When Zhou Sheng started to sleep, he seemed to be shouting out one or two. His aura disappeared without a trace. When he closed his eyes, he immediately turned into a slightly childish big boy, and the shallow scar on his eyebrows became much fainter.
Yu Hao woke up once last night and had a dream all night. He was so sleepy that he had to force himself to hold on and wait for Shi Ni to come out. However, his sleepiness kept coming, causing him to fight with his upper and lower eyelids. He buried his head, kept his sitting position, and put one hand on Zhou Sheng's chest. When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly received a short message from Chen Yekai.
【Not in the dormitory?】
Yu Hao subconsciously looked at the time. It was only six o'clock and shouldn't have checked the bed. He hurriedly replied to Chen Yekai's news and told him that he and Zhou Sheng had just finished reviewing.
[On Christmas, I originally wanted to find you to have a meal together in the evening and ask you something.]
At this time, Shi Ni came out. Yu Hao hurriedly turned around. Shi Ni browsed and said, "The nanny told my dad. She said I didn't go home all day today. What should I do?"
Yu Hao took Shi Ni's cell phone and pondered for a while. He was not very good at lying. At this time, Zhou Sheng woke up and said, "I'll send you a picture, and you said you were on the commercial street opposite, buy him a New Year's gift and ask him to choose one."
Huang Ting took out the inspection report, looked at the three of them, and said, "Let's go back together, and file a case and write a record."
Yu Hao knew that this inspection report must be very useful, so Huang Ting found another female policewoman. After the three of them followed the record, they asked her to speed up the case and had to hold a meeting tonight.
"Where to stay at night?" Zhou Sheng said.
"Go home to live." Huang Ting said, "I called him with my home landline and said I had already gone back."
"But I..." Shi Ni asked a little hesitantly, "Can you come to my house to sleep at night?"
Yu Hao looked at Huang Ting inquiry, and Huang Ting said, "We don't care about this matter, it's your private agreement."
"I'll accompany you." Yu Hao said immediately, "I'll sleep in your living room tonight."
Huang Ting said: "Nizi, stay at home and don't go anywhere. Lock the door and I will find his flight. If it goes well, I will notify your uncle and aunt tomorrow. The morning after tomorrow, we will squat him at the airport and take him back to the station after getting off the plane. From this moment on, you will be safe."
Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Sheng said: "I will go to the airport the day after tomorrow."
Huang Ting thought about it, but did not agree, just said, "Let's talk about it."
"Let's eat this box of chocolate." Yu Hao said to Shi Ni.
Shi Ni took a piece, Zhou Sheng took a piece, and Yu Hao also took a piece. Huang Ting naturally knew what Yu Hao meant, so he waved his hand and said, "This is my duty, keep it. During these days, you must keep the phone on and contact at any time."
